User management becomes efficient and installation is straightforward
My primary use case for ADManager is to manage users and groups, perform group policy without logging into Active Directory, and provide easy and secure management and monitoring capabilities. One of my clients uses ADManager for these purposes With ADManager, I can easily complete any Active…

I'm currently working with On Demand Migration solution from Quest. I am providing feedback regarding my experience with On Demand Migration. I have used automated scheduling in On Demand Migration. I can run immediate migration or schedule it as per my convenience, but I have used the run immediately option because I needed it on an urgent basis. The effectiveness of On Demand Migration detailed reporting in managing migration progress is quite good, as there is a report option where I can see what migration got successfully completed, which failed, and even the problem ID and event ID, allowing me to troubleshoot easily on the demand portal. I have not explored the data filtering options. I have not explored data filtering for filtering the data. In terms of data security, we are using independent DLP for data protection in our organization. I have not explored features such as AI functionality or additional security aspects, as I have explored only On Demand Migration for mailbox, Teams chat, Teams channel, and OneDrive. For O365 to O365, it's a very good and easy tool, so I can recommend anyone using O365 to O365 tenant migration to go with On Demand Migration. My overall rating for this product is 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Makes it easy to administer your active directory."
"It is a stable solution."
"The scalability is also good. ADManager Plus is being used by seven to eight system administrators right now, and it has been working fine."
"The most valuable feature was conducting the automation of our cloud and all services of the Active Directory."
"The most valuable features of the solution are vulnerability management and system patching functionalities."
"Reporting is the most valuable feature of ManageEngine ADManager Plus and is highly usable."
"The solution provides oversight, reports, and logs that are easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature for me is automation."
"The data is pretty secure."
"The most valuable features of Quest On Demand Migration have been the M365 migration and Active Directory (AD) migration components."
"They have a demo version that you can test before you purchase it so you can see that it does what you need before you commit financially."
"The solution supports multiple workloads. We've got Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, and Azure under the same place. It's really easy to see the progress in each of those areas. It's very important to have everything in one place. Otherwise, we'd have to use different platforms to handle different parts of the migration."
"You can batch up large groups. You can tell it to move everything for 200 people, and then it just goes. Once you get things set and configured, it is pretty easy. I can hand it off to people more junior to me who are less trained on the product, and they can be successful."
"We can see the issues that may come up during migration. We can handle multiple workloads using this since it connects with Microsoft 365."
"It's very easy to use. What I like is that if there is an error, for each task, I can find out what actually went wrong."
"The solution is really stable when it comes to mailbox migration and all of the following work very well: the mail content, the OneDrive for Business content, and migrating all Azure AD objects."
 

Cons

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements can be introduced by making it available at a cheaper rate."
"API integrations are not supported for all HR tools."
"The solution should be made tablet friendly because it works well on iPhones and Android phones, but does not work on tablets."
"The number of main controllers affects the database for creating the hardware specs."
"Some of my clients experience issues with the GPO results, which do not always generate the real outcomes. This needs to be resolved by technicians."
"Other products have more flexibility and integration in managing identities."
"It would be nice if the solution offered some sort of brochure with some high-level information that would help sell it to management. If they had details around how much time it saves an engineer, for example, to show the ROI, it would be helpful."
"This solution is not stable, it wasted my time."
"They should introduce a module for migrating power automation for users."
"It would be more useful if I could scope the dashboard. I would like to be able to scope the users that I want to see to a much smaller list. When I am looking into a tenant with 35,000 accounts, and I am only moving 2,000 of them, I wish that the guys had been smarter about the discovery, and I could have only discovered those accounts, but there is not too much to complain about."
"Their support interface is not so great because you need to go through several links before you can raise the ticket. Sometimes the interface freezes up, and there is some downtime. They give us some notice. It says at the top of the interface that there will be scheduled maintenance in a given region or there is currently an outage. You can see upcoming downtime in the portal and plan accordingly."
"It's definitely the Microsoft Teams functionality that has a lot of aspects where improvements are needed. Microsoft 365 Groups are tightly connected to Teams and there are a lot of improvements needed there as well."
"One significant issue that often elicited complaints during domain migration was the need to set the primary UPN for objects once they were migrated to the target."
"The granting of consent for doing the different tasks is confusing."
"We had some issues with migrating Teams."
"In terms of Microsoft Teams, the only disappointment for us has been how the chats are migrated. They just don't look exactly the same as they would if you were logging on as normal. Obviously, when it comes to the user experience, you want the look and feel of everything to be replicated identically, and chats is the only part of it that doesn't look identical. However, it's not a 'car crash.' It's a slight deviation from what people would expect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing depends on scope and makes sense for use cases with multiple domains."
"I need to pay for the license, and I believe that it could be made cheaper."
"The cost of this product is a little higher than I would expect for a tool like this."
"I am satisfied with the solution’s pricing."
"The tool's pricing is good."
"I downloaded the trial version, only."
"It is not expensive."
"The solution is on the more expensive side, when you compare it not only to BitTitan but to other tools in the cloud market. Of course, you receive things like Quest's support organization."
"It is more than fair for what you get."
"I find the pricing to be cost-efficient for what you receive with the Quest product."
"The product had reasonable pricing until the beginning of this year. Now, the price is increased by 20%."
"We are fine with the tool's pricing."
"The pricing is in line with other products."
"It is quite cheap. Previously, I used to work for a big company, and they get quite a good deal, and now, I'm working for a small company, and even they get quite a good deal. So, its pricing is quite fair."
"I thought On Demand Migration would be more expensive. I'm pleased with the cost that was quoted."
